actually it will work. theres many members in both the 3GS and 2IS forum who run staggered wheels on AWD. the key is to keep both the front and rear wheels as close as possible in diameter.

Yep, like Porsche, you can run staggered so long as all the tires spin at the same speed to avoid damage to drive components and tire wear

They aren't too bad, just not my style. If you like them, you should get them.
And YES you can do staggered on AWD( I am).

Hmmm... seems like this staggered/non-staggered on the AWD models may need a thread of it's own. As for the wheels themselves, they are decent at best IMHO. I would spend a little extra money and get something a bit higher quality but that's just me.

Staggering an AWD is not worth it. You'll just limit your rotation options, possibly cause problems as the wear gets more and more uneven, and who knows what else... add to the fact that you can hardly tell from glancing at it that it's staggered or not, I just don't see the point in messing with the formula here.

Rims are ok... but they look like they belong on a G35 IMO
